Taking FMIL to reception hall...

FMIL is going to see my reception hall tomorrow. And I am pretty nervous about it. FH's family always gets married at expensive beautiful places, and our place is really plain (no chandeliers, no hardwood, etc).

I am soooo scared to hear about all of her 'opinions' - and I am sure there will be many!

What really gets me is that she is not contributing anything to the wedding..but yet she has all of these opinions... I am not going to sleep at all tonight.

Re: FMIL....

wheres the wedding?

whers the wedding

Re: Taking FMIL to reception hall...

you know, that really pisses me off!

she's not contributing anything and yet feels as though she has the right to criticize?

If that were me, I would say 'well, if you'd like to pay for a nicer place....'

I am so sick of the BS that weddings bring out. I am beyond the point of being 'PC'.

Sorry for hijacking... just needed to vent. lol My point is, keep your head up and stand up for yourself. don't let her or anyone get you down! you're wedding will be beautiful!!!!

Thanks Kathie Lee!!! You are awesome also!!! You, Jo and I should have a b-otches reunion - LOL!

His family just puts their 2 cents in about everything. Including FBIL. At the last wedding I attended with him and his FW, they kept saying how their wedding was going to be so much better than the wedding we were at. And then they were asking me how many courses we were having at our wedding, what desserts we were getting, etc, etc......

We definetely need to have a beoches reunion sometime...they would be so good!!

I hate people who feel they need to one up everyone..why can't you be happy for other people or just keep your mouth shut

Where is his wedding going to be??

Re: Taking FMIL to reception hall...

Why does everyone have opinions about weddings they don't pay for. I understand that must be frustrating. Just tell her how you can't wait to have everyone together and the room will be filled with love, etc.

P.S. where is your reception? I have felt the same way sometimes.

Good luck!

You have FM!

Re: Taking FMIL to reception hall...

WELL THE THING THAT YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER IS THAT IT IS FH'S AND YOUR WEDDING DATE. NOT HERS AND IF YOUR PAYING FOR IT YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOUR POCKET.

Re: Taking FMIL to reception hall...

I had the same problem with FHs family. They get married at these huge elaborate places with crystal chandeliers and marble floors...we chose a place that does NOT have marble floors but that we loved.

If she feels its necessary to have an opinion, just say, 'well I love it'
Remember its your wedding not hers...you need to be happy with it more then anyone else...Good Luck

Re: Taking FMIL to reception hall...

I hope that it goes well tomorrow. Try to remember that it is your day and it doesn't matter what FMIL or anyone else thinks. Especially if they aren't helping out with the wedding!!!
